Tasting Note

Gorgeous floral notes of roses with traces of lavender and fennel in the background. Further aromas of great purity suggest pine needles, forest floor and peppercorn. Sumptuous and intense palate with compact and succulent fruit balanced by focused acidity that provides definition and fine balance. The polished tannins underwrite the complex structure of this seductive, beautifully crafted wine.

Product Notes

It's a distinct blend of indigenous grapes, presenting a rich, dark hue and pleasing aromatic complexity with multi-layered flavours. The wine enthrals the palate with ripe black fruit character, interspersed with subtle spicy notes and firm tannins. Aged in French oak barrels, it develops excellent structure and depth, promising longevity. Full-bodied and opulent, with a harmonious finish, it perfectly reflects the unique terroir of Quinta do Vesuvio. Best savoured with robust meat dishes, it stands as a laudable ambassador of fine Portuguese wine.
